Why we need to build Disaster-Resilient Communities
About this episode
As we close out the first month of the year and stick with the theme of resolve to be resilient, I thought it would be prudent to discuss building a disaster-resilient community.
Why we need to build Disaster-Resilient Communities
Disasters, whether natural or man-made, can have devastating consequences for communities. In recent years, we have seen an increase in the frequency and severity of disasters, from major hurricanes and floods to wildfires and pandemics. The impacts of these events can be devastating, not only in terms of physical damage but also in terms of human and economic costs. Building disaster-resilient communities are more critical than ever in light of these events.
